Matthew James Publishing

Matthew James Publishing Ltd is a UK-based publisher which has been around for over 20 years, producing a wide range of literature and resources for use at home, in school and in the parish.

We helped Matthew James evolve their existing WordPress / WooCommerce-based website through the development of a new theme and adding features to improve the ease of adding and managing product information.

“For so long we had been looking for a way to improve our profile and display a more professional image. Our website was the last step in a new chapter in our company and Bookswarm were integral in getting us there. Not only did they design a website with everything we needed, but their personal-touch approach and dedication to keeping our individuality meant that we felt secure all the way through the process. Their after-care is also fantastic and we feel we can contact them at any point for technical help or follow up design queries.”

What Our Clients Say

“Other than their creativity and prompt responsiveness, Bookswarm’s strongest asset is their patience with clients like us, who keep suggesting new ideas and changes. With a team split between Cairo and New York, communication was very smooth, with time difference never being an issue. The final result for Hoopoe branding and website projects are proof of Bookswarm’s competence and commitment, and seeing Simon speak at London Bookfair confirmed we made the right choice.”

Basma El Manialawi, Marketing Manager, The American University in Cairo Press

“I think Bookswarm are unique in that they combine technical and creative expertise with a can-do spirit and an understanding of what writers, readers and publishers need from the web.”

Chris Cleave, New York Times #1 Bestselling Novelist, author of The Other Hand and Gold (Sceptre)

“Designing a new site and keeping continuity with my old one was a seamless process with Bookswarm from start to finish. Simon and his team were incredibly clear, responsive and inventive as they kept pace with my many questions and challenges. They immediately understood my brief and fulfilled it to the letter, and the result is I now have a website completely fit for purpose, with a lovely welcoming design, that is also very simple for me to manage and update. The support has been great too. I would recommend without reservation.”
